Last night (and this morning) we were under a snow "advisory". To those of us who grew up somewhere much farther north, translation is "it's going to look like someone sneezed snow". Around these here parts....schools close. People drive like maniacal idiots. Things come to a standstill. All for the possibility of 2 inches of snow.

Rick is from upstate NY where they get lake effect snow and I'm from Maine, so growing up we were used to the snow. So we laugh when we wake up and there is a dusting causing school delays.

We told the girls last night that there might be snow this morning. When they finally remembered and looked out the window, listening to them discover the little snow we had was rather comical.

Laur. e. ANNA!! Look outside! THERE'S SNOW!!!!!

And this is what all the excitement is about. And I am very serious when I say that some schools have already CLOSED today!!

I am a mom to 4 children and wife to a wonderful man. We homeschool all four children, and my days are spent trying to keep up with them all…and the house…and life in general.

My passion is teaching my kids and helping other families in their homeschool journey. Working with children has always
been something I have enjoyed, and I love that the online world has provided a
way to share ideas and resources with other families all over the world. The last few years has brought speaking opportunities at blogging conferences, homeschool groups, and also homeschool conventions.
